The president and chief executive of the International Sign Association (ISA), Lori Anderson, has received a Council of Manufacturing Associations (CMA) leadership award during its Winter Leadership Conference. Annually awarded, the accolade is voted on by peers in the industry based on who is seen to have furthered most the mission of the CMA.

"The success of an association depends largely on the involvement of its members. Because of organisations like ISA, the CMA has had another successful year in advancing the manufacturing agenda," states National Association of Manufacturers president Jay Timmons. "Under Lori's leadership, ISA is setting a great example for manufacturers, most recently hosting numerous events throughout the country on Manufacturing Day to engage the public and help develop manufacturing leaders of the future."

"Lori is truly deserving of this award," believes Chad Jones, ISA chair. "Her strong leadership has helped our association and the on-premise sign and visual communications industry are active participants in the National Association of Manufacturers and many of its programs. We know how valuable she is and it is exciting to see her recognised with this prestigious award."
